HILARIOUS HURRICANE HEALTH HOOBOO

My friend who works at a giant medical center in Texas said there are tons of penniless but very nice and grateful patients there now. They are Hurricane Katrina refugees from the Gulf Coast. They are being given free medication and free health care, which is as it should be.

At times, she feels sad about what has to be done to process all those extra patients. It’s kind of a zoo. They just kind of line them up along a wall and interview them to find out who needs help STAT, and who can wait a little bit. It makes all the medical privacy regulations seem pointless, since it is so hard to obtain necessary medical information in confidence in that kind of a chaotic, crowded situation.

The other day took the cake. She couldn’t quite hear what a man was telling her was wrong with him. She cupped her hand to her ear and asked him to repeat it.

“I HAVE GENITAL WARTS!!!” he shouted. Naturally, at that instant, the noise in the room had died down. After that instant, it died down considerably more.

You know, they can blame that hurricane for a lot of things . . . but not for that poor guy’s problem, nor for my friend’s new permanent blush.

Prayer request: Comfort and TLC for our softball friends Rick and Lori, as Rick’s dad has died after a long illness. He was only 65. May the funeral this week be a time for family bonding and sweetness, and may the grandchildren always remember how much they were loved. Help them find the joy of salvation that is like a jewel hidden in the cold lump of sorrow. (Psalm 33:22)
